Just reading that the Bears are the only county to take maximum bowling points in every game this season which is a marvellous achievement.Will Rhodes also needs 36 more runs to reach 1,000 Championship runs. The only other player to achieve that in Div 2 is Bell. It’s been a wonderful season in red ball cricket.
Lancashire collapse to 273 all out, losing their last three wickets without adding to their score. That's them down. Had they managed to scrape three hundred they'd have probably stayed up as Notts are getting battered.Bears have just lost their fifth wicket with 284 scored, a lead of 117. Sibley is unbeaten on 103. I would like a lead of at least 300, pretty please.
Agreed. But I don't want there to be even a vague possibility of the baddies winning.
George Dobell mentions the Barker situation in his report on Cricinfo. http://www.espncricinfo.com/series/8204/report/1127737/day/1/birmingham-bears-vs-kent-specsavers-county-championship-division-two-2018Barker will be a big loss and it probably explains why we have signed two seamers from Gloucestershire.
